No, they didn't have CSX numbers, but they did have COB numbers. I'll bet they are in the registry, too.
That's my storey (sic), and I'm sticking to it.

All the #COB# cars are definitely in the registry, but there are a few points to note.
1. The "Cobra" name was owned by Ford, who withdrew permission for AC to use it, but the car was no less a "Cobra" for a name change.
They are refered to as "AC 289" or "MK111"(but this is technically incorrect,for reasons deeper than I can recall ATM!)
2. These cars were generally fitted with wire wheels.
Shelby sold the 427 badged as a 427 with the 428 interceptor in....(when engine supplies were short.)
My advice is definitely to finish the Cobra with the 351, see how it feels, sounds and goes. Run it for a few months. Drive a BB. Drive a 289. If you REALLY feel it isn`t enough, then & only then should you trade up!!!!
